.. and they really go well (screenie 125k) with a pekwm theme I mod'd and probably will fuss with a bit more, creamy tan and turq go well together and the off-gray I used may seem a bit blah - wmsetbg does nice at scaling and smoothing mins; but sometimes there's nice texture in 'happy accidents' , Bob Ross haunts me at times - nope, Spring ain't here yet for sure.

good thing too, the spare change from shoveling snow is keeping me and the cat fed..

For those of use with bad eyes and/or twitchy fingers here is a tarball of bugman's images - seeing that you, yourself wear glasses (your pic?), i have come to the conclusion that you must be a bit sadistic

..various methods of setting a background (depending on your preferences - generally I have wmsetbg, hsetroot and a few others to choose from) even better if a minimal working palette (about a dozen colors) is smeared to create blends. Up to the user which setter and options work best. Alpha/opacity can also figure in, but probably not so good on the Xvesa patterned root (for me, that looks like a dense chainlink texture) rather than the deep black of Xorg. Quite likely a simple layer animation effect could be achieved with a simple script or randomizer so a bg need not be 'boring' or even resource hungry .. strangely enough there seem to be subtle pseudo-movement shifts/effects even without that on my CRT and card. Then again, sounding brass and tinkling chimes in shadows and light (;

a few samples attached for demo - gs.png is fairly finished imo, ksdotohone.png shows those blocky distractions (which some may like, so much goes on in hwr,s/w,etc that it may not show .. YMMV)

ps - wjaguar's 'tips' for 3.31 in a nice 2.5mb pkg, I wish many docs were available in this form (but noooo.. instead and far too often you get a broken local 'help' or spend way too much time searching and filtering or simply giving up on what may be a terrific app if only it had some decent readable documentation so one could use it effectively /rant)

thanks, fscap is one of the reasons I use wine (a bit overkill to justify textnotes in its mini-editor, but even that can be a left-handed performance gauge)
